The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

Their board has been filling up with insufferable crybaby posts since Saturday night.

Quotes on MC's board since FRIDAY night:

MCGrad07 "Tough game tonight."
Ice Warrior "It was a tough game and the team that deserved to win did"
RENCEB "Agree, they had their chances but couldn't finish"

There were 2 or 3 posts on officiating in HEA in general, but not blaming the loss directly on it.

So I don't know what "insufferable crybaby posts" you're looking at but I think, as a whole, MC fans are taking it quite well. It was an utter beat down of a weekend. Team leadership let the team down, they needed to prove they were the "better men" and not get caught up in frustration and they didn't do that.

I think the VAST majority of posts about the losses this past weekend gave a tremendous amount of credit to PC where it was due and also were highly critical of the way MC played. Not much crybabying about that.

I agree with you...the Merrimack coach is the one that is acting like the crybaby IMO. I don't know what he is talking about with Providence running the goalie all weekend. Cannata was touched once by a PC player on Friday night on a cross check that forced the PC player into him.
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

All I can say is the Friars played well this weekend and certainly exceeded my expectations! Great job by the entire team! I'd love to see them play as well against a tough BC team to close out the first half of the season.

It's nice to hear from Salvo. I'm sure there has been some ribbing from the Friar his family. ;)

The Friars have done a great job to date and made this season VERY interesting. I had them finishing in 8th in my crazy head before the season started but may have to rethink that. 6th place doesn't seem too far fetched at this point the way the team has performed for Coach Leaman.
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

Congrats to Friar nation for an outstanding weekend. You guys earned both those victories. And now you guys are top 20 in the country. Congrats on your new ranking :) Hopefully MC will bounce back vs UVM on Wednesday and vs #12 Colgate on Saturday. GO PC...BEAT BC!!!

Oh...you know it. Luckily (or not I suppose haha) it's finals season and I've just been cooped up in the library 24/7..but the texts from my sister sting nonetheless haha.

Enjoy the ranking and good luck against BC this week!
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

Congrats to the Friars on the weekend sweep and finding themselves in the USCHO top 20 and the INCH Power Rankings top 20. While polls at this point in the season really do not matter, it is rather fun to see our Friars listed among the elite. :D

I was quite surprised, however, at the lack of attention the sweep was given on the front pages of USCHO, College Hockey News and INCH. PC, Northeastern and Lowell all had remarkable weekends but we mostly heard about the usual programs. It would have been nice to get a little more national attention for knocking of the top team twice. I wonder if that says something about a lack of respect for a remarkable Merrimack team.

Here's hoping the Friars ride the momentum into Chestnut Hill where they have had there share of difficulties over the recent past.
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

Great to be in the top 20 but with Deluth at Nr 1 its hard to believe Miami is not ranked at all.....surely they belong in the upper echelon of college hockey
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

This will be a tester as we are not going to sneak up on anyone anymore......if we stay out of the box 4-2 PC, if we take alot of penalties 5-1 BC

Probably??? Definitely!!! Win or lose I'm planning on getting me some and since you're actually the best looking thing that BC has to offer........
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

I like the fact that from reading the BC posts yesterday, there seems to be a goaltending controversy goin on up there. I like it!
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

All in all, not a bad final three games heading into the break. Tonight could have been better but, i am very fine with the first half.
 
Re: The rebirth of Providence College Hockey

Great first half and they did play with BC......this is a sign of better things to come this year and in the future......wish the team a well earned break and a better second season
